Mama Was Singing To Jesus
by Mark Bishop

Album: Faith, Family, & Friends

Verse 1
In my mind's eye I return to the scene,
When my mom would stand in the church and she'd sing.
Her body was timid; her voice had grown frail,
But I'm sure in heaven it rang like a bell.
Who she sang to, it was easy to tell...

Chorus
Mama was singing to Jesus,
Mama sang Jesus a song.
Tears filled her eyes and I wondered,
If the angels were singing along?
The sweet Holy Spirit descended,
How I'd like to go back again,
To when Mama was singing to Jesus,
And everyone else listened in.

Verse 2
Years have gone by since my mother went home,
But not before she'd shown the way to God's throne.
With a song on her lips, she returned to the Lord.
If she was still singing when she reached the shore
I'm sure Jesus said, "I've heard that voice before."
